St Mark (medieval)
Parish church
Markby is a village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, 10 miles SE of Louth and 3 miles from the east coast. It is built of roughly coursed re-used ashlar and brick with a thatched roof, the only thatched church in the county. It stands to the E of the main rad through the village, and consists of just a nave and chancel. It was apparently rebuilt from the remains of Markby Priory after the Dissolution, and is mainly 17thc., but contains architectural fragments, some as early as the 13thc, and a blocked N doorway which may be 12thc and is the only feature described here.
